    Mangawhai - Raglan

    November 23, 2024 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F

    Two amazing beaches in 1 day! Checked out Mangawhai before we drove to Raglan, not great conditions for Kevin so onward we went. The super young wannabe surfers were stoked though, and so excited! We passed Auckland on our way, and it sure looked different from what we've been seeing lately, causal little beach towns. Beautiful city right by the ocean.
    Ah, Raglan, there are many good reasons it's one of the top surf spots in the world! Spectacular. Kevin went motor paddle foiling; he said it was challenging and fun. Fascinating walk and scenery for me in the area, and even saw a person mediating on a rock, got me inspired!
    Dinner. Yummy. Met a couple who have several dairy farms! Here the dairy cows wander and eat grass, nice. We're going to visit them tomorrow morning. Will share more afterwards.
    Our place is great! Spacious with 3 bedrooms (you all could be here too!) only 1 shower though. Excellent view.
    All in all a superb day.
